Cobourg medical marijuana facility ready to grow – Peterborough

FV PHarma Inc. has gotten the official OK from Health Canada, and will soon start growing marijuana at its new facility in Cobourg.

“Friday the 13th was very lucky for FV Pharma,” company president Thomas Fairfull said.

Whitby-based FV Pharma took over the former Kraft food plant about five years ago but the space sat empty for years while the company worked to get its medical marijuana production licence from the government. That paperwork came through on Friday.

Right now, the company is operating 25,000 square feet of space and are looking to hire about 200 people. Fairfull said they hope to expand to 300,000 square feet within a year, and grow their employee list to 1,200 workers.

Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier said it’s the kind of development the town likes to see.

“That’s what we’re trying to do, we’re trying to promote economic development in Cobourg, and this is certainly a great boost to economic development,” he said.

FV Pharma hopes to have its first harvest ready for shipment by February.

What is a Sativa?

Sativa strains of medicinal marijuana are usually uplifting and stimulating. If you’ve ever smoked or ingested cannabis that makes everything funny and puts you in a great mood, it was probably from a Sativa strain. It creates a feeling of comfort, non-drowsy, and usually introspective highs. The effects of smoking or ingesting a Sativa makes them particularly popular among artists and creatives. The most popular medicinal benefits range from treating mental and behavioral problems, to treating depression, stress and ADHD.

What is an Indica?

The major difference between Sativa’s and Indica’s is while a Sativa can make you feel alert, active, and aware, an Indica will have a relaxing feel on the body. The physical effects of an Indica strain commonly include a drowsy and mellow mood with stress and pain relief. Indica’s are one of the more suggested strains when using it for medicinal purposes as it effectively treats sleeping disorders such as insomnia, fibromyalgia, body aches and pains. Indica’s are also commonly used for treating Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Fibromyalgia and Lupus

Why Choose Hybrid?

The benefits to smoking or ingesting a Hybrid strain are simply as follows. Hybrid’s offer the best of both worlds combining several qualities of each containing strain. Some Hybrid’s are Indica dominant, which will offer pain relief and / or mellow mood, however may contain up to 50% Sativa so it will not make you too drowsy. Other’s may offer a Sativa dominant strain, which will encompass several calming benefits and pain relief, but also give a mellow, yet energetic high.
